Happy New Year

I ran out of time to send Christmas cards this year, so I am sending New Years cards!

I combined some old with the new to create this card.  I die cut multiple stars with my Star-Dom die out of Cool Pool and Bubble Gum cardstock.  Then I layered them with pop dots and added  grey pearls that I had been holding onto until I found that special place to use them.  I also added a Mini Paper Clip to balance out the arrangement.

 

 

The Star was layered into a Journey Squares Pierced die cut that I stamped with the background Cheveron Trail stamp in Bubble Gum ink.

All of that was layered onto a River Stone Snapshot Frame die cut that I  wrapped with a Bubble Gum Satin Ribbon.  I added a multiple loop bow with Bubble Gum Thread and placed the whole multi layered design onto a Cool Pool card Base.

Coffee Love

Today I am sharing a card I made awhile back.  It started off as a Artist Trading Card swap and then morphed into a cute note card.

 

I pulled out my Fun Stampers Journey reinkers to color the coffee cup.  I used Oatmeal Cookie and Kiwi Slice reinkers.  Love how it looks like a mini Starbucks cup. 

 

 

Love how the Gold Silk Splashes play off of the Heart of Gold Element.  Did you know that the Heart of Gold Elements are part of the Journey Rewards program?  For every $50 dollars of Fun Stampers Journey product you buy, you can choose an item out of the Rewards program!!! I love getting rewarded for shopping!

 

I'm going to finish my cup of coffee and get my fingers inky!

Better with Wine

I am enjoying the long holiday weekend with the family... and a little time in my craft room.  Yesterday was spent staining the backyard fence ( I am almost finished with the back section!!!!) and surfing the blog-o-sphere for challenges,
which brought me to Stamp Ink Paper and this challenge.

So, after a long day of pretending to be the Karate Kid- paint the fence .... I sat on my back deck and enjoyed a glass of wine... (ok, it was a cold beer, but the wine goes better with the post), and thought about what to create.

 

I used Black Licorice cardstock and ink, Whip Cream cardstock, and for my pop of color I used Cranberry Bliss ink.  I really like my  Cheveron Trail background stamp.  I will let you in a little secret- I cut it up!!!! Yes , I know that is a scary thought, but that way I get more use out of it.  I cut it up in sections- one stripe,  two stripes, and three stripes.  That way I can use it for different patterns or put it all back together for a whole background.

 

 

My focal point is done with 2 of Fun Stampers Journey ATC stamps. Love this stamps- they are a great price point  and there are plenty of options!  The background is Ink Splat stamped in Cranberry Bliss, and the wine stamp is Wine a Bit .  I love how versatile the Ink Splat stamp is- you can use it to create a background or to color an image with.  In my opinion, it is one of those must have stamps.

 

 

I finished of my creation with some loops of May Art burlap twine ( you can get some over in my Etsy store) and then I added some Journey glaze to the wine bottle and glasses.

Color Throwdown Challenge

Happy Sunday Everyone!  Today I am sharing my entry into the  Color Throwdown Challenge Blog, http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2015/08/color-throwdown-357-countdown.html

 

Love this color choice!!! 

 

 

The base of my card is Bubble Gum CS.  I layered a Black Licorice CS die cut with Journey Squares, " DI-0038" on top of it.My background was stamped with River Stone ink with the Chevron Trail stamp, "SS-0022" onto Whip Cream CS.  Then I pulled out the Yummy Party stamp set, "SS-0152", and stamped the giant layer cake.... I want to dive right into that cake!!!!  Oh, and you can purchase the matching die, Party Cake, "DI-0054"!!! Love it!!!  My party cake is colored with Copic markers.

 

 

To finish off my entry, I stamped the Eat Cake stamp from the Little Big Greetings set, "SS-0052" onto a Banner Parade die cut, "DI-0031.  Then I added a paper clip element, candy minis, black twine, and journey glaze.
